Z, X, or V girl names?
I posted 2 or 3 months ago looking for girl names. ?I am 34 weeks and still cannot come to an agreement with my husband. ?Basically, the only name he likes is Zoe. ?I am kind of "eh" on it. ?Don't love it, don't hate it. ?He likes names with "an interesting letter" in them and specifically would like one with a Z in it but X or V or maybe W would be acceptable as well. ?Siblings are Maxwell Oliver and Quinn Olivia. ?Names I like just for reference: Charlotte, Violet, Sydney, Rowan. DH does not like any of these. Any suggestions? ?Thanks!

I posted this last time you asked, but maybe you want to take another look at it since you are getting closer.
From BehindTheName.com:
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Hungarian
Pronounced: ZHO-fee-aw [key]
Gender: Feminine

Other Scripts: S?f?a (Greek)
Pronounced: so-FEE-? (English), so-FIE-? (British English), zo-FEE-ah (German) [key]
This name was common among continental European royalty during the Middle Ages, and it was popularized in Britain by the German House of Hanover when they inherited the British throne in the 18th century. It was the name of characters in the novels 'Tom Jones' (1749) by Henry Fielding and 'The Vicar of Wakefield' (1766) by Oliver Goldsmith.
I do love Violet. I like V names.
For a Z name I like Zaida, pronounced, Zyda. I dislike Zoe, but maybe because of a girl I knew.
I saw a documentary recently with a girl who was Russian and her name was Xenia (pronounced K-sen-ya).
There are other really nice V names: Victoria, Virginia, Verity, Veda, Valerie, Violet...
And Beatrix is one of my all time favorites.
I also saw a little girl in the park once named Gwen. I thought it was so sweet and I was briefly jealous that I didn't pick that name myself lol.

Zaila and Zofia are pretty, but don't really go with your sibset.
What about Victoria, Vera, Ivy, or Waverly?
Vella, Vorda, Verlie
Zofia, Zoey, Zeandra, Zelca (ZELL-sa)
My vote goes to Zaidy. I love it and there's a prominent, incredibly talented author with the name (which I consider a great association).
Here are baby girl names that contain a Z.
Here are baby girl names that contain an X.
Here are baby girl names that contain a V.
I like Veda, Vida, Vivienne, and Vera.

Maeve, Mackenzie, Savannah, Vanessa, Valerie, Evelyn, Avery, Evangeline, Alexandra, Roxanne, Suzanne, Gwyneth, Dawn, Veronica, Devon, Evette, Genevieve, Ivy, Raven, Sylvia
There are a lot of these names that I like that DH has already said "no" to ... but maybe I'll just run them by him again. ?He may have forgotten, right?

I really like Ivy, Willow, Eliza, Beatrix and Gwen. ?But Gwen would definitely be too much with a sibling named Quinn! ?Gwen was actually our girl name when we were pregnant with DS (we were team green for that pregnancy). ?Every time I bring up Eliza he starts singing that song "There's a hole in my bucket, Dear Liza." ?I really like the name, though. ?Lila is one of my favorite names and Eliza is similar but with a Z. ?I had a dream early on that we named the baby Lila June and when I told him he squished his face all up in disgust. ??
I also like Zsofia but I think it would be weird to use a cultural spelling when I am not part of that particular culture.
I also like Winnie but not Winifred. ?Is there another formal name with the nickname Winnie? ?
?Thanks for all of the suggestions ladies! ?Sorry it took so long to post back. ?I posted lastnight then ended up passing out. ?LOL.?
?I do love the name Roxanne but I'm not sure I have enough conviction to name my daughter that. ?Also DH's car is named Roxie (wouldn't necessarily keep me from using it but the kiddos do call his car Roxie on a regular basis). ?Also love Genevieve with nn Nev and also love Ivy. ?Gwyneth is very pretty but not so much with a sister named Quinn. ?Thanks for the great ideas!?

Do you pronounce that "Zio-mara"? ?I think I really like that!?
Veronica
Vera
Beatrix

I know a Vienna, it fits her well. Her dad calls her V. It is really cute.
How about Vivienne? Viv is a cute nn.

Sorry, I was off the bump for the rest of Halloween. The pronunciation in Spanish is See-oh-mara, but I have heard it pronounced with a Z sound at the beginning among English speakers.
I love Charlotte, Violet, and Sydney. I even have a Charles. We are strongly considering Eve, which doesn't start with a V, but heavily features it. I think it goes well with your preferences and your other children! It's known but not popular. Zoe feels trendy and not a good match for your other children.
I would also think about: Vivienne, Vida, Vera, maybe Zella? Also, why not Violet! I love it!
X- I have a friend named Xiomara (although she goes by Mara)
V -Vivian, Valerie, Vanessa, Vasha, Velia, Victoria, Viola, Vivica
Z- Zola

I know you asked for Z, X, or V, but Y is also unusual, and I thought Yvette would go along with your other children's names (pronounced "Evet" long e at teh begining)
